Thank you for the question.
Last summer, 2009, the project was approved. It consists of replacing the 40-year-old system with a commercial off-the-shelf new system. It also consists of modernizing the services and the processes, including the increased use of the web. It also includes the consolidation of the compensation services presently provided by the departments to PWGSC.
Where are we at now? We started the project on October 1. The project will last about five years, because it's a long project. We are at the preliminary phase of the projects.
We call it the pay administration transformation initiative, but there are two projects. One is the pay modernization, which is the replacement of the systems and the business transformation. The second project is pay consolidation, which is the centralization of services.
